[hider=The Vagrant Arcana][hider=Basic Info][i][b]Names & Nicknames:[/b][/i] Casana G(uile). Lecor; Guil, Vagrant. [i][b]Title:[/b][/i] The Glorified Guillotine; The Vagrant Arcana; The Beastial Beheader; The Heathen Arcana; The Tempted Tigress. [i][b]Nationality:[/b][/i] English. [i][b]Gender:[/b][/i] Female. [i][b]Height:[/b][/i] 5’10. Weight: 142 Ibs. [i][b]Age:[/b][/i] 26. [i][b]Appearance:[/b][/i] With a strange feline grace to her aptly revealed form, Casana is a woman of little refinement and incredible tastes. She possesses the face of a tigress, brutal, demanding, and strangely elegant. Her eyes have bags beneath them which are subtly hidden by her eyeliner which is put on to look as a blackened shadow on her face. Though her eyes may appear dark, they are a dulled emerald green with a strange quality to glow with a speckled golden hue as if gold dust dwells in her eyes. Going down she has an average neck and a slim build with toned, incredibly sleek muscles. Her skin is mostly well kept but appears to be rough around her shins and forearms from slight abrasion. This is likely due to the bracers she wears on those two spots. These bracers cover most of her outer forearm and shins and are typically very enchanting pieces of work –just like the arcane wearing them- and are of a read coloration with a golden cross embellished on their form. The ones on her shins are conversely all golden in coloration and have black crosses. Now, unlike most of her family, this particular Lecor reveals much of herself to the world and only covers herself when she deems necessary. Covering her moderately ample bosom is a hardened leather shirt with soft padding beneath its tanned form. Even this measure of clothing goes down only to an inch or so above her pierced belly button. Going further down we complete her honed hourglass visage and reveal her red and gold belt with crest of her family –a vicious prowling tiger with the talons of a hawk- which holds up a black plaited skirt going down to just above her kneecaps. Unlike her chest, Casana’s hips are not very accentuated but are still enough to catch the eye with their tantalizing sway. Not only this, but her shoulders as well are adorned with the red and gold armoring, though they are not as protective as say, a cuirass. Part of her lower thighs are protected by the identically colored armor and do assist in her protection. Returning to below the waist we find that she wears leggings, though they are cut so as to not touch the inner thigh but circle up and attach to whatever she chooses to wear within the darkness of her plaited black skirt. To finish off the effect are black, pointed tip and rather smooth, foot-ware made of a partially hardened metal with inner padding and coverings for the feet. Last of course, and standard issue, would be her white, though entirely clashing with the rest of her, cloak. Everything else can be ordained from whatever reference you choose to set your eyes upon. Last of all, the bracer on her left hand has 2 small chains linked to the side facing the wrist, these chains move forwards up to her gloved hand which has many, small, interlocking plates that allow complete freedom of movement. The guantlet/glove that is on her hand however does not go past the first knuckle of her middle finger and the same goes for the two fingers that lay on either side of it. Instead, the chain's three rings go around these fingers. The biggest one, and middle one, goes around the middle finger and holds there as a ring, while the other two rest on the fingers next to their elder brother. All three act as rings on her fingers and where one would think t find more chain...they strangely, but is all as it appears? Is she maybe more strategist than drunken lunatic, call her a 'floozy' and find out.

Despite being an arcana she is known to often jab at her fellow man and even be outright insulting. However, do not take this as hatred or dislike; Casana is often drunk to varying degrees and is generally known to not give a flying fuck about manners. Despite her general nature she can be pleasant if she so chooses, it’s just getting the vagrant to do so that’s a pain. In battle she is likely less refined than the average arcana and their ilk. For those who have seen and not been the unlucky individual against her it is known that a kind of grace appears in her fighting form despite the apparently unrefined nature of her combat style. She is brutal and actually masochistic in battle and just loves it when her prey strikes back. She has the tendency to show a more sinful side of herself the more battle crazed and intoxicated she becomes. Strangely, though she is masochistic, she is not a sadist by nature, and despite her nurturing she never became one and defiantly denies to ever do so. Even to the Asylum’s she so graciously ushers to the more hellion realms she is not overtly cruel. Now do not take it into mind that she has problems harming an individual, or downright insulting their very existence for that matter, it is simply that harm is not something she believes normal, pleasant people should have to endure. At heart, somewhere deep deep below the alcohol and violent tendency, is a kind woman with a complex to help rather than hinder or hurt. In short, she is a healer turned bloodlusting mercenary with a stark love of the more sinful aspects of life. It is only her constant praise to the lord and reproach for her sins that keeps her as a supposedly righteous individual. Last it should be noted that normally she has little to no temper…but the problem is she is an angry drunk so unless you can stop her from taking a swig from her ever present wine, brandy, or rum…good fucking luck. Other Notable things Fool\'\s gold n\'\ false idols [hider=Fool's Gold 'n' False Idols]When asked what she thought of the asylum's her prompt -and rather tipsy- reply was as follows "Theeuy're jus' a bunch of fuckin prissy idols, faking their works of 'god' and such kin'a shit..." she then preceeded to wobble and one of the blades of The Grim Quillotine spiked out suddenly and dug itself into the wood of her chair "y'see...shi' like that, tryin to impress people and 'save' tha world when non'a em' even consider their DAMN BLASPHEMOUS ACTIONS!!" the blade lengthened and she sighed as it shrunk down gradually, her expression mirroring its actions and dulling, becoming almost sullen "course...can' hate em, just...dislike really for tha damn false idols they are, need ta be revealed and MELTED DOWN like tha fool's gold they're ma' of...." She then sighed and promptly began to nod off.[/hider] [u][b]History:[/b][/u] Unlike most of the holy families of the arcane, the Lecor family is a strange one. Strictly religious, but of a different sect of Christianity than their arcane kin, the Lecor family are known for their sadism and cruelty in battle. Their crest is that of a prowling tiger with vicious teeth and saber-like talons. Her mother, Aresta Setina Lecor, was once a kind woman, despite her upraising, and when Casana was born, taking her great great grand mother’s name, and her grandfathers middle name, Aresta continued to cherish her third child even after she discovered her more arcane attributes. It was only when the playful use of her abilities caused her to kill her father, Matel Gion Lecor, that her mother became a sullen little bitch and her streak of sadism finally manifested itself. The still 6-year-old girl that Casana had once been, was forced day in and day out through torturous routines of training and…other unfortunate activities. Her mind sullied and twisted by the wiles and will of her darker mother the girl attempted in a last stand to defy the tyrants rule. She did not become a sadist, she would never enjoy inflicting pain, she would not become her mother! Aresta, upon discovering her daughters activities, the girl still only at the ripe age of 15, punished her and lashed out with a violence forbidden in an attempt to murder the young arcana. It was only the broken shard of a glass in her hand, enchanted by instinct that saved her life and ceased her mothers’ tyranny. The shard lengthened and stabbed directly into the woman’s shoulder, missing a lung by only a single inch, humbled the woman through sheer fear of her daughter’s capabilities. The torture ceased and the training did too, no discipline could be wrought any more by the woman, and with the ruined muscles of her shoulder, she could never raise her hand to harm again. Casana, even through all that time grieved her father and despite her effort to resist the cruel sadist that was her tyrannical mother, she developed first a dull hint of masochism. Through her teenage years, from 16-19, she became increasingly more pleased by any pains inflicted upon her and learned to accept and make strength her body’s strange flaw. To this day, she has never regretted anything of her past, with the sole exclusion being the father she lost so early, too early, that crushed collapsed her very world upon her. Now, the days of her adulthood, she has honed her skills to a subtle, but strangely jagged, point and made due with all she could. Her father dead, her mother silently mourning the loss of her own strength, and a daughter risen above both, this is The Heathen Arcana. The days that follow, she only seeks to right her wrongs by spilling the blood of her lord’s sinners onto the ground as well as her own in repentance to the dishonor she has brought to his name. The Heathen, wishes only forgiveness for what she has done…and what, she knows she will do. Do you dare stop her from simply seeking salvation; From seeking forgiveness? I would not advise it, if you are wise…then you as well should not struggle, for struggle -as she knows well- only brings more pain. And for you pain is no luxury, her however, she is a different matter all together.[/hider][hider=Abilities and Equipment][u][b]Basic Arcana Powers[/b][/u] [i][u]Enhance:[/u][/i] Her weakest link in regards to her three Arcane magics, Enhance allows Casana to increase her speed, strength, flexibility, durability, and endurance together or individually as long as she has arcane magic to do so. She can also increase the durability of objects that she is in contact with, which works in tangent with her Enchantment ability. Nonetheless, this ability is not very well developed meaning that she can only move in explosive bursts of speed and strength, rather than maintaining such continuously. When Enhancing objects she can maintain it for considerably longer, allowing her to make the cloth of her clothing as hard as, say, leather. Using Enhance she can briefly get to speeds that allow her to very briefly disappear in the eyes of a normal human, and in regards to strength she can easily break bones, but not so easily break metal, while she could very likely damage thin stone, or normal wood. It should be noted that the smaller the area she enhances, the more effective the enhancement is, this is due to her own skill level, rather than the limitations of the technique itself. [i]Note:[/i] For her speed bursts she moves at roughly 559 mph aka 250 Meters per second. She can only do three bursts consecutively at this speed. [i][u]Enchantment:[/u][/i] Extremely able in this area of her Arcane abilities, Enchantment allows her to lengthen, widen, expand, and generally alter the distribution of any non-living object's mass/shape. However, this ability cannot change the base shape of the object, meaning that a long rod will only become wider or longer, but its overall shape will, more or less, remain the same. Casana can use this ability to great effect, but can only do so to things that are in contact with her arcane energy, or her body. Due to her level of skill the change in the effected object's form may happen almost instantaneously to the untrained eye. However, the larger, more foreign, the object, and the more complex the change the longer it will take. Nonetheless, these changes still tend to take, at most, a minute or so. [i][u]Negation:[/u][/i] An ability allowing her to expel arcane energy, Negation usually weakens other magic and has a sort of "burn" effect on material it is exposed to, particularly flesh. The energy to negate someone else's spell is roughly the same as the amount of energy in the spell, unless specific techniques are utilized. Casana is capable of applying negation to her weapons to augment them and can release blasts of it should she choose to. [u][b]Arcane Weapon[/b][/u] [i][b][url=http://www.dragonquestfrontiers.com/images/chain.JPG]Chained Rings-(The Grim: Quillotine)[/url][/b][/i]- Concealed simply on her left hand as chained rings this arcane weapon Is far more of a force to be reckoned with than most would initially believe. The Grim: Quillotine is an incredibly versatile weapon by itself, but when applied and enchanted by her Arcane specialties it becomes a force as undeniable as gravity itself. When unhooked from the half-gauntlet of her left hand and the rings taken from her fingers it is capable of becoming a plethora of combinations that have often become Increasingly hard to name and following through even the span of seconds. In Its normal form of a bladed chain she has the tendency of extending and shrinking the whole chain respectively as well as lengthening and shortening the blades on its form which makes it Increasingly difficult to defend against. What are seen below are the five primary "states" of her weapon, but it should be known that Casana is capable of achieving a great many others utilizing her enchantment. [hider=The Grim States][i][u]State of the Impala:[/u][/i] Extending the link at either end of the Impala and shrinking down all behind and then widening them so that they become trapped in a linear state and easily held, almost like the handle of a sword, she then extends the straight and pointed end creating a blade from the links. The blade is of course double edged with a deadly tip and the ability to quickly lengthen and partially shrink its handle back into chain form so as to swing in deadly arcs. This is likely the weapons that has given her the title 'The Beastial Beheader'. [i][u]State of the Ouroboros:[/u][/i] By shrinking down either side of the chain and quickly wrapping the rest of it around the two smaller rings she expands the rings size creating 3 chakrams which are linked together by the chain which can easily cut, since she thins its edges to a point. This is one of her lesser-used weapons and is equally capable of lengthening its chain and lashing out suddenly with an explosive burst of arcane speed. [i][u]State of the Chimera:[/u][/i] Using all of the bladed sections of the ring she elongates all the blades simultaneously and widens the two outer rings into chakrams which remained linked to the now empowered blade links. The middle ring remain, thickens, and widens to become something that a hand can easily hold; She tends to quickly shift both or one of the outer rings at various times in order to hold and release them as weapons or handles respectively. [i][u]State of the Quillotine:[/u][/i] Utilizing the middle ring she widens it into a bracelet and then tightens it around her right wrist. She then widens the two smaller rings and puts those around her pointer and index finger, once this is achieved she uses the same application of the blade links as she did with ’State of the Impala’ after she wraps the blade links around her fingers and angles their points forwards. This means that she gains a weapon that can either augment her own punches or suddenly extend into a plethora of elongated blades. She has to be careful with this application of her weapon lest she stab herself with the blades, additionally the small portion of the blade links do in fact dig into her flesh somewhat which only serves to stabilize them and amplify her battle craze and thus the intensity of her gluttonous guzzling. Overall this gives her a strange thrill and potentially an exponential boost in fighting intensity as well as a deadly weapon capable of easily skewering her prey. [i][u]State of the Tigress:[/u][/i] Sometimes referred to simply as ‘The Claws’, the State of the Tigress is probably one of her arcane weapon’s most trademark of forms and has gained her the title ’The Tempted Tigress’. This begins with her moving the center ring behind her body and then getting the two outer rings each around one of her wrists. After this, by making the chain links large enough to fit snuggly around her fingers, she is capable of forming bladed edges pointing upwards from the back of her fingers and downwards from the inside. Additionally there is always one link dug into the space between the furthest part of the fingernail and her knuckle. This final link, one on each finger of each hand, allows its bladed section to elongate into curved claws giving her a fabulous set of 10 curved, tearing extremities on her hands. This is by far her favorite out of her Grim States but is still the most seldom seen as it damages her hands, despite regeneration from enhance, and is also difficult to activate due to the complex positioning.[/hider][/hider][/hider]
